NOCERA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
407 AM EDT MON APR 20 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
A WARM FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES WILL RESULT IN
CONTINUED INCREASING CLOUDS THIS MORNING WITH RAIN DEVELOPING THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE WILL KEEP UNSETTLED
WEATHER IN THE FORECAST THROUGH WED. HIGH PRESSURE WILL GRADUALLY
PUSH TOWARD THE REGION LATE IN THE WEEK WITH DRY WEATHER AND A
GRADUAL WARMING TREND. UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPERATURES MAY OVERSPREAD
THE REGION AROUND SAT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.

&&

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
MAINTAINED CONSIDERABLE CONTINUITY WITH GOING FORECAST FOR TODAY.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND THIS
MORNING WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT OFFSHORE TODAY AS LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES FROM THE MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES.

HIGH CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS MORNING AS WAA ALOFT
INCREASES. AS FOR TIMING OF POPS...WE TOOK A BLEND OF THE VARIOUS
GUIDANCE SUITE MEMBERS...INCLUDING THE ENSEMBLES. THIS GENERALLY
MEANS RAIN ARRIVES FIRST IN THE CT VALLEY EARLY AFTERNOON...THEN
SPREADS NORTHEAST FROM THERE...REACHING CATEGORICAL LEVELS IN
NORTHEAST MASS BY 00Z. WE DON/T THINK THE RAIN WILL BE PARTICULARLY
HEAVY PRIOR TO 00Z...JUST MAINLY LIGHT STUFF.

EASTERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND BECOME GUSTY
AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. AS FOR MAX TEMPS FOR TODAY...KEPT CLOSE TO
A NAM12/MAVMOS COMPROMISE.

&&

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM TUESDAY/...
WARM AIR ADVECTION INCREASES MARKEDLY IN ADVANCE OF SHARPENING WARM
FRONT THIS EVENING. THIS COUPLED WITH +3 TO +4 SD PWATS AND EASTERLY
LOW LEVEL JET WILL ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAIN...MAINLY BETWEEN
02Z AND 08Z. HAVE INCLUDED A CHANCE OF THUNDER DURING THAT TIMEFRAME
AS WELL GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF STRONG ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE WARM
FRONT. THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SHOWALTER INDICES WILL
DROP TO BETWEEN 0 AND -3C FOR A TIME AS WELL. OVERALL...WE ARE
EXPECTING BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OF RAIN FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND BETWEEN TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. THIS WILL
LIKELY RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE PONDING OF WATERS AND MINOR FLOODING OF
OTHER LOW LYING AREAS. HOWEVER...WE/VE BEEN QUITE DRY LATELY...SO
RIVERS AND MOST STREAMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE RAINFALL.

THERE COULD BE A BRIEF PERIOD WHERE RAIN MIXES WITH WET SNOW ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SWRN NH DURING THE EVENING...BUT LOW PROB SO
LEFT THE MENTION OUT OF THE FORECAST FOR NOW.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...AND
SUSTAINED WINDS MAY VERY WELL REACH 25 TO 35 MPH ON THE CAPE AND
ISLANDS STARTING EARLY THIS EVENING...SO HOISTED A WIND ADVISORY
THERE. IT/S POSSIBLE THAT SOME AREAS JUST INLAND MAY SEE A BRIEF
PERIOD OF ADVISORY GUSTS THIS EVENING...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS
LOW SO WILL ALLOW DAY SHIFT REASSESS THIS POTENTIAL.

MOST OF THE WAA PRECIPITATION SHIFTS THE NORTHEAST OF THE CWA LATE
TONIGHT AS WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO CREEP NORTHWARD. MUCH OF THE
PRECIPITATION ON TUESDAY SHOULD BE SHOWERY IN NATURE...BUT LIKELY/CAT
POPS ARE STILL WARRANTED. IT/S POSSIBLE THAT HEAVIER CONVECTION COULD
REFIRE DURING THE DAY IN THE DIRTY WARM SECTOR AND RESULT IN MORE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. SPEAKING OF THE WARM SECTOR...NOT TOTALLY SOLD
THAT IT WILL JUST BLOW INTO THE ENTIRE AREA ON TUE. THE NAM MAY HAVE
THE BEST HANDLE ON WARM FRONTAL MOVEMENT...WHICH MAY LEAVE THE
INTERIOR LOCKED IN WITH LIGHT E/ENE FLOW FOR MUCH OF THE DAY WHICH
WOULD RESULT IN TEMPS REMAINING QUITE CHILLY. LOW-MED CONFIDENCE IN
MAX TEMP FORECAST.

WINDS TUESDAY SHOULDN/T BE AS STRONG AS THOSE SEEN TONIGHT AS STRONG
WAA JUST ABOVE THE SFC WILL HELP TO ENHANCE THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
TUESDAY NIGHT...
STEADY SOAKING RAINS WILL COME TO AN END AS DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
/WARM CONVEYOR BELT/ MOVES OFFSHORE. HOWEVER WITH MID LEVEL
LOW TRAVERSING THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER VALLEY THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS
WILL EXIST ACROSS THE REGION. IT WILL BE A MILD NIGHT AS WARM FRONT
LIFTS INTO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH WARM SECTOR OVER THE REGION.

WEDNESDAY/WED NIGHT...
UNSETTLED WEATHER REMAINS IN THE FORECAST AS MEAN TROF AXIS PERSIST
OVER THE NORTHEAST WITH ANOTHER BUNDLE OF JET ENERGY DIVING INTO THE
BACKSIDE OF THE MID LEVEL TROF. THIS INDUCES AN AREA OF LOW PRES TO
DEVELOP ON THE COLD FRONT APPROACHING THE REGION FROM THE WEST. SO
SHOWERS SHOULD BECOME WIDESPREAD DURING THE DAY WED AND PROBABLY
INTO WED EVENING.

THURSDAY...
DRYING TREND AS MID LEVEL TROF AND SURFACE LOW EXIT INTO THE
MARITIMES. CHILLY AIR ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW WITH 850 TEMPS
COOLING OFF TO -2C TO ZERO. ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD BE OFFSET SOME BY
CONSIDERABLY SUNSHINE AS COLD POOL MOVES NE INTO THE MARITIMES.

FRI THROUGH SUN...
GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN CONUS TROF DEVELOPING YIELDING
BUILDING RIDGE HERE IN THE EAST. DRY WEATHER WITH WARM TREND FRI AND
POSSIBLY UNSEASONABLY WARM SAT AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT WITH
BOTH GFS AND ECMWF OFFERING 850 TEMPS WARMING TO +12C/+13C. 12Z GEFS
NOT AS ROBUST WITH 850 TEMPS CLIMBING TO +10C BY LATE SAT. MODEST SW
SURFACE WINDS SHOULD YIELD TEMPS WELL INTO THE 70S TO PERHAPS NEAR
80 AWAY FROM THE SOUTH COAST SAT.  WARM WEATHER MAY COME TO AN END
SAT NIGHT OR SUN WITH THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT ALONG WITH A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

&&

.AVIATION /08Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
TODAY...VFR FOR MOST OF THE DAY. RAIN ARRIVES FROM SW TO NE STARTING
IN THE CT VALLEY BETWEEN 17Z AND 20Z...THEN MOVES NORTHEASTWARD FROM
THERE. CONDITIONS TO LOWER TO MVFR MOST TERMINALS BY 00Z. EASTERLY
WINDS BECOME GUSTY LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON.

BRIEF PERIOD OF BKN005 CIGS MAY PERIODICALLY AFFECT THE COAST OF
MASS...INCLUDING LOGAN AIRPORT WITH WEAK ONSHORE FLOW. THIS SHOULD
LIFT BY 11-12Z.

TONIGHT...MVFR WORSENING TO IFR MOST AREAS IN RAIN AND FOG.
DEVELOPING LLWS POSSIBLE BY 06Z DUE TO AN APPROACHING ESE 65KT LLVL
JET. SUSTAINED WINDS 25-30KT FOR A TIME AFT 06Z ACROSS THE SE
TERMINALS INCLUDING KACK-KHYA-KFMH AND POSSIBLY BOS ON E WIND FLOW.
CHANCE OF THUNDER...BUT NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO INSERT INTO 06Z
TAFS.

TUESDAY...IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS. CONDITIONS MAY PERIODICALLY
IMPROVE TO MVFR.

OUTLOOK /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...MVFR CIGS LIKELY WITH SCT SHOWERS.

THURSDAY AND FRI...VFR.

&&

.MARINE...
WARM FRONT WILL APPROACH FROM THE SOUTH TODAY AND MOVE INTO THE
WATERS TONIGHT. EASTERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL INCREASE AS
TODAY PROGRESSES WITH MARGINAL GALES LIKELY ON MOST OF THE WATERS BY
00Z. EASTERLY GALES TURN SOUTHEAST AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON. SSE WINDS
DIMINISH TO SCA LEVELS LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY TUESDAY AS LOW LEVEL
INVERSION BUILDS. SEAS REMAIN ROUGH HOWEVER.

OUTLOOK /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

TUESDAY NIGHT...WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE REGION WITH A
WIND SHIFT TO THE S-SW WINDS ALONG WITH IMPROVING VSBY.

WEDNESDAY...
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST WITH LOW PRES DEVELOPING ON THE
FRONT OVER NEW ENGLAND. EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS

WED NIGHT AND THURSDAY...
LOW PRES OVER NEW ENGLAND INTENSIFIES AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO THE
MARITIMES. NW 20-30 KT LIKELY WITH POSSIBLE HIGHER GUSTS. DRY
WEATHER WITH IMPROVING VSBY WITH THE WIND SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST.

HIGH PRES SLIDES SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND WITH A MODEST SW WIND
DEVELOPING.
